[QUOTE="Shadowman, post: 5058, member: 162"] [b]New tyre found[/b] I was standing outside the hotel this morning when the owner of the Pizza restaurant next door came out to take pictures of the bike. We got talking and when I told him of my tyre he started phoning around and found a place on our route 60 klms away. These people couldn't have been more helpfull. I removed the wheel and while I had fresh coffee they changed it. While I was there they showed me the biggest motorcycle tyre I've ever seen it was 360/90/18. Now we are in central Filand with a fresh problem. Not a serious one. My kick start spring snapped or cam off late this evening. (We are 2 hours ahead in Finland) I think part of it is under where the ratchet goes as the kick start only goes 3/4 way down. I've attached a geomagnet to the end of my spare clutch cable and will go fishing in the morning. Not many miles today due to tyre and classic vehicle exhibition distractions Off to a Finish tank museum 150 mile from here tomorrow Thanks to Len and John Hood for the suggestions. [/QUOTE]
